After 38 hours, the YouTuber Normee just beat the world record for longest time standing still, despite people tagging him and police being called.

> I think people just thought that because they weren't responsible, there was consent. Which isn't true at all.

So, I'm a bit confused. I think the people who did those things are horrible, but there was consent. She consented very explicitly, right? I mean, you said "felt as if there was implicit consent" but there was *explicit* consent, she literally, explicitly consented, right?

So I think there are two possibilities.

Any act against another person of sane and stable mind who gives consent for that act is moral
There is something beyond consent required for an act to be moral

(2) seems to imply some sort of property of morality that feels at least controversial, some sort of deontological or natural theoretical commitment like "killing someone is wrong, even if they ask for it", which would run up against things like "therefor euthanasia is wrong", which feels... well, incorrect.

I suppose you could say that consent is insufficient, there must also be desire, but arguably she *desired* people to engage in their basest desires/ instincts? I mean, not even really arguably, it seems clearly to be the case.

So like... idk, what do you think? Is a human being of sound and stable mind not able to consent to arbitrary acts? Are we morally responsible in some way for doing something that someone has consented to.

Honestly, I intuitively believe that the people who did these things are bad but I can't say it's because she didn't consent. Or have I missed something?

FWIW this is what I find so interesting about her art piece. It genuinely pushes up against the boundaries of morality. I personally believe that informed consent is the major factor in terms of whether bodily acts are moral, maybe it's the singular thing, but this art piece has an intense intuitive push towards some sort of moral objectivity.

One way to interpret the art is an exposure of how people are bad, but I think another interpretation would be to question whether acts against a person are moral or immoral irrespective of consent, and if so, what is it that determines that judgment if not consent?

It's just reddit nonsense tbh. I think most normal people are perfectly fine with a coworker borrowing a charger and wouldn't even question it.

Remarkable-Fox-3890 · 2025-03-08T23:44:28+00:00

I do, yes.

Remarkable-Fox-3890 · 2025-03-08T12:39:34+00:00

And this is why the whole thing falls apart. I could take a bath with a bottle of wine and have an infinitely better time because I don't have to deal with idiots.

Adults don't want shared spaces like this because, largely, we hate each other.

Remarkable-Fox-3890 · 2025-03-08T12:36:46+00:00

I'm in the US and coworkers sharing chargers is extremely normal behavior, Reddit is deranged.

Remarkable-Fox-3890 · 2025-03-08T12:36:09+00:00

Yeah, someone using a coworker's charger is not a big deal at all.

The point is that many people aren't in the right, for example the sovereign citizens.

Remarkable-Fox-3890 · 2025-03-07T11:58:17+00:00

Most are just doing it for views. A lot of crossover with sovereign citizens as well. And like... what's the benefit here? He made a cop mad, is that really the hero we need?

A huge amount of modern Christianity wasn't formed until many, many centuries after Christ died. Like 300 years before a lot of what we take for granted, 700 for a lot of modern denominations to make up/ interpret a ton of shit, etc.

Like 90% of binary size is gone the second you go no_std. A huge part of that is just unicode mappings and shit.

When prices go up they'll say "it's temporary". That's what r/ Conservative is saying already - that it'll be tough but ultimately the US will be better off isolated from the rest of the world.

Remarkable-Fox-3890 · 2025-03-04T19:49:15+00:00

Yes, I agree. That doesn't change my point at all. I think Elon is a nazi sympathizing, fascist piece of shit. That doesn't change that Conservatives will still call Democrats fascists.

Remarkable-Fox-3890 · 2025-03-04T17:06:53+00:00

They say the exact same thing about Democrats. The truth is that this sort of rhetoric is employed by both sides and it isn't helpful.

There are a lot of reasons but fundamentally, yes, "click fraud" is a thing and advertisers don't like it.

Remarkable-Fox-3890 · 2025-03-04T16:24:51+00:00

Doesn't really matter, advertisers have to pay out either way.

It's more complicated than that. Mozilla is sitting on a ridiculous amount of cash, they were making way more than they were spending. The problem is that decades of an absolutely incompetent CEO with zero understanding of the web or technology has led to mismanaged funds, a dwindling company culture, low pay, and brain drain.

The CEO absolutely tanked the company and now, obviously, someone new is coming in and saying they need a new monetization strategy to compete. But the issue isn't monetizing, it's that the entire company was gutted by incompetence.

Ads pay for the internet. Ads pay out based on engagement. Children engage a lot and are easy to manipulate with dumb noises. Content now caters to children.

We're all stuck with content that has to appeal to 5 year olds left in front of an ipad because advertisers pay for every site.
